General Availability (GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early AprilJune 2025 (previously early December) mid-April) and expect to complete by late AprilJune 2025 (previously mid-January).late April). How this will affect your organization: Longer URLsThe new URL syntax is: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/<meeting_id>?p=<HashedPasscode> To make meeting URL shorter, we are removing several parameters such as tenant ID, conversation ID etc. This change serves two main goals: 1) improving usability of URL during sharing and 2) making the URL more secure and less susceptible to malicious attacks. Here are some details about how meeting links work and when they expire: In case the meeting organizer gets removed from the tenant, the links to the meetings scheduled by them automatically expire.  Every meeting link expires in 60 days after the scheduled event or in 8 hours, if it was created as Meet Now. Learn more about expiration timelines for different types of meetings. With the Short Meeting URL release, expiration limit will be applied to all newly created links. Once the change to Short Meeting URL is released, all newly created meetings will expire as described in the documentation: 60 days after meeting ends for scheduled meetings and 8 hours after creation for Meet Now. Once this expiry period is over, in case someone clicks the link (e.g. outside of Teams app OR in the meeting details inside Teams calendar section), they will be unable to join the meeting. Note: Old links created before the rolloutshort meeting URL release will continue working as it previously was (user will be able to work.join even after the documented expiry limits). The reason why we are making this change is simple: security is our topmost priority. Maintaining a high security level is essential to protect sensitive data, prevent financial losses, ensure business continuity, and meet compliance and legal obligations. It is a critical aspect of modern digital life and business operations. This adjustment is designed to enhance the security of Teams meeting links, thereby better safeguarding the customer tenant. We want to be on par with modern security standards, that’s why the new URL syntax is: https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/<meeting_id>?p=<HashedPasscode>behavior is a step in the right direction that we must take. It’s not possible to keep the current behavior. If you think it breaks some of your business processes, please leave comment to the MC post and describe your case there. Recommendations in case the meeting link has expired: For meeting organizer: We recommend scheduling a new meeting. If the meeting organizer got removed from the tenant someone else should reschedule their meetings from scratch. For participant: Please reach out to the meeting organizer and ask them to reschedule the meeting or send you an updated link. What you need to do to prepare: You may want to check … ID, conversation ID and message ID will not be in the URL. You may inform meeting organizers from your tenant who use expired meeting links, or you may want to make a tenant-wide announcement about this change. This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin …
